mid-career employees and military personnel [4]. In order that the onlineeducation is at least equally effective (if not better) than face-to-face education in traditionalclassroom in all aspects such as academic quality, rigor and outcomes, appropriate teaching toolsmust be developed to suit the online teaching / learning media. In this regard, we believe the casestudy based education is one of the superior tools to deliver an equivalent laboratory experiencefor the online students!The process for developing case studies in described in section 2, a fully developed case study inthe domain of software testing is presented in Section 3, the instructions and teaching notes aregiven in Section 4, pedagogy and educational outcomes are discussed

university,and via the curriculum.In the case of this curriculum development project, the need to adhere to ABET requirements forcurriculum was very clear. Perhaps not so clear was the usefulness of the NCEES FundamentalExam content in making specific curricular decisions. Also, the college mission was a factor as itcalls for a liberal education perspective to be linked to the university’s pre-professionalprograms, and requires 46 credits of general education that must be accommodated in alluniversity degree programs. Resource limitations needed to be considered in the development ofthis program in terms of classroom and laboratory development. Also, substantial faculty timehas been needed for course development as several new courses are required

surveys.Introduction and MotivationThere have been numerous reports, studies, and books that call for engineering education to notonly educate for technical competence but to also educate for the professional practice skillsnecessary for the modern, global workforce.1,2,3,4 Engineering programs have responded to thiscall for change by introducing non-technical skills in freshman introductory engineering courses,however the professional practice skills are mainly being included in design experiences such asthe capstone design course in the senior year. The middle two years of a typical engineeringcurriculum are crowded mostly with engineering science courses and laboratory based courses.It can be challenging to incorporate professional skills into engineering

, laboratory space, and materiel limit thebroad application of this approach, especially in larger programs. Additionally, individual studyrequires a high level of self-motivation that may not be present in all students. Individual studies are meant to put the student in the driver’s seat. However, facultymembers are not disengaged. They serve as project advisors. Since students necessarily arepushing the bounds of knowledge, faculty members must conduct a concurrent literature reviewto best direct the student and mentor their research efforts. The role of project advisor, from adepartmental perspective, is a duty additional to other everyday requirements. On average, thefaculty project advisor puts in five hours of work per project getting students

attitudes in students are developed using structuredlectures, laboratory session, and projects. For most of the students, it is very difficult to see theconnection between topics covered in the lectures or in the course. Thus, there is an urgent needfor focusing student attention towards the fundamental or core ideas related to the topic underdiscussion as take away points. We implement a teaching approach with “thought bubbles”,commonly used in arts and cartoons, to present core ideas to students as discussion questions.“Thought bubbles” (aka clouds) are used to pose as introductory questions for initiatinglecture/discussion and as concluding thoughts. This approach helps student to be attentive and tograsp what will be covered during the session

(Design and testing of CE, CB) The following two projects illustrate how the lab projects were structured. Sample Lab Exercises The purpose of the first project was for the students to use their understanding of basic op amp circuits to design a linear transfer function circuit which converts a DC input voltage over a certain range into a DC output voltage from 0 to 0.5, 1, or 1.7 volts. The linear transfer function circuit consisted of a non-inverting amplifier, a summing amplifier, and a voltage follower providing a DC reference voltage using a Zener diode. The objectives of this laboratory were to design, simulate, construct, and test the op amp circuit designs outside of the classroom and then assemble these sub

As an example, UTRGV computer science curriculum has CSCI 1170Engineering Computer Science I Laboratory as a separate course to complement CSCI 1370Engineering Computer Science I. The two courses are usually taught by different instructors, andessentially are two separate courses with no interactivity between the two. This approach becomesexpensive in terms of the total number of hours required to complete a degree if one complementseach course with its lab course. Another traditional approach is to increase the number of hours of certain selected

The required 12full-length core classes plus the one-hour President’s seminar and a one-hour physical educationactivity is thus a total of 50 semester hours. The four-hour course requirement is also applied toengineering courses. While this is not a difficulty for courses such as Circuits and Electronics,which normally include both a class component and a laboratory component, for more theoreticalcourses, such as Signals and Systems, and classes for which three hours is perfectly adequate,such as Engineering Economics, four hours is not necessary, and requires some creative coursecombinations in order to include the multiplicity of topics normally
